Amazon thinks I am a homosexual man | February 26, 2010

A couple of years I ordered a movie on Amazon. The only problem was, it’s wasn’t the movie I thought I was ordering. Apparently “Head On,” the title of the foreign film I wanted, is also the title of a hit gay porn. I was unaware.

The consequences were most unfortunate. For a full year my Amazon homepage was inundated with recommendations like “Hungry for you,” “Guilty Collections Vol. 1,” ” Cowboys & Angels,” and “Mysterious Skin.”

The porn titles eventually came at a lower frequency, but to this day Amazon still classifies me as a homosexual male. I think my order & search history, filled with interior deisgn, cooking, fitness, advertising, personal care and fashion books, has only made it worse. This just goes to show you, actions speak louder than words. Especially online behaviors.
